A few a sunrays made their way through the huge window glass, Haruka softly opened her teal eyes and a smile bloomed on her face. The scene before her was worth to be saved in the deepness of her memories; Michiru lay softly on her chest with a beautiful smile on her lips. Haruka couldn't believe what had happened the night before, her smile turned into a grin. The blonde racer suddenly remembered that she still hadn't give Michiru her last present and carefully moved the sleeping beauty aside. Haruka got up and silently searched for her clothes and put them on; her gift was still inside her blazer. She carefully took the velvet box from the blazer and took it out, she then moved quietly back on the bed and lovingly stared to the naked woman in front of her.
Kami-sama Michiru is an angel. She is so beautiful sleeping. I love her so much. Haruka kept staring to her lover quietly waiting for her to wake up. The blonde couldn't resist anymore and gently stroked Michiru's temple. Sea blue eyes were slowly open "Gomen, I dint' intent to wake up love" Haruka sheepishly said.
"Don't worry love; I was planning on waking up already. How long have you been awake now?"
"Just a few minutes now"
"What is that on your hand?" Michiru now slightly rose and sat on her bed, a white sheet covered her exposed body.
"Ah…this" Haruka hold the blue velvet box and smiled once again "this is a special present I have for you" Haruka said in tenderly and opened the box to reveal an aquamarine heart pendant with little diamonds around the shaped form in an exquisite silver chain, a beautiful necklace.
"Oh Ruka is beautiful!" Michiru threw herself to the arms of her lover.
Haruka tenderly embraced her girlfriend and then broke apart and gave her present to the excited violinist "Here, you go. It has something engraved on the back"
The content violinist took her present from her girlfriend. She looked the pendant carefully and just loved it, the color, the shape, but what she liked it best was the engraving on the back of it. An 'H&M forever' were diagonally engraved in cursive.
"Oh Haruka, I love it. Can you help me put it on?" Haruka obediently took the necklace and Michiru turned around to give the blonde racer her back, the silky white bed sheet that covered the smaller girl's chest was 'accidently' dropped and Michiru pulled her aqua locks away from her back .Slender and skill fingers brushed milky white skin of Michiru's back, the response from the violinist's was a slight shiver. Haruka placed the necklace on Michiru and carefully locked it, her hands reached for the pendant that now freely hung on between the violinist's chest; she then moved her hands to cupped Michiru's delicate yet well-defined breasts. "H-haruka…" Michiru panted, she was enjoying the caress from her lover when…
Ring, ring! A cellphone interrupted the handsome tomboy and both teenagers suddenly jumped up. Michiru reached for her cellphone to stop the annoying noise.
"Hello? Dad! What? You and mom are on your way back home? You 'll be here in 15 minutes, ok ok" The violinist dropped her cellphone and quickly reached for her night robe.
"Love, you have to go! My parents are back from their trip and are gonna be here in 15 minutes!" Michiru worriedly stated.
"Hai, hai. I heard that!" Haruka leaned to catch Michiru's lips in a quick kiss.
"I will see tomorrow ok?" Michiru parted away from the blonde.
"Ok, I will see you tomorrow at school" Haruka stood up from the bed, her blazer on hands.
5 minutes after Haruka left, a black limousine parked in the Kaioh's driveway. Masaru and Shiori emerged from the vehicle and stood in front of their home. Inside the mansion, Michiru finished dressing herself properly and got out her room to welcome her parents. She had totally forgotten about her parents until they called her that morning; she had wished she could have spent the rest of the day with her lover.
"Oto-san, oka-san, welcome home" Michiru happily greeted her parents.
"Michi-chan, we're sorry we couldn't be here for your birthday yesterday, but here we brought you this" Her mother handed her a box wrapped in gift wrap, Shiori's eyes darted from Michiru's happily face to her chest and obviously glanced at the beautiful aquamarine pendant that hung from her daughter's neck, but said nothing.
"We hope you really like it Michi-chan" Masaru made his presence known.
Michiru opened the wrapped box and found a new violin, a new wood, expensive music instrument. "Thank you, it's very beautiful. I like it, oto-san, oka-san"
On the other side of the city, Haruka made her way to her house. She still had to take the car back to the racetrack, but first she needed to show up to her house. She hadn't say anything to Madoka about not coming back to sleep the day before and her godmother must had been worried about her. Even if she considered herself independent and mature, she still had to inform her oba-san about some things. She only hoped Madoka wasn't really mad at her.
Haruka sneakily tried to make her way to her bedroom when "Haruka!" it was one of those few times her oba-san call her only by her first name and not Haru-chan, oh she was in trouble "What time it is for you to finally make it home Haruka? Where were you?" Madoka was clearly upset her goddaughter hadn't spent the night at home.
"I-I…oba-san, please don't get mad! I wasn't doing anything bad" Well, technically, I was doing nothing 'bad' on the contrary I was doing something good, very good…. Oh, c'mon Haruka stop being a perverted. "Yesterday was Michiru's birthday and we went out. I spent all afternoon with her and when I was coming back the storm made it hard for me to return home. So Michiru suggested me to stay at her house and… I did" Haruka finished explaining only half of what had happened, she obviously wasn't gonna tell her godmother she had made love with her girlfriend, that was way too personal.
"Umm…Well next time call me or something, you don't know how worried I was for you! Especially because like you said that storm was horrible" Madoka let her goddaughter know her worries for her and calmed a bit.
In that moment Kenta showed up with an amused expression on his face. He had heard the lame excuse about the storm Haruka had gave his mother, but he didn't buy it. Kenta suspected there was something else, he didn't know exactly what it was but had a good guess.
"Hello, Tenoh! I thought I was gonna see you until tomorrow, that storm surely 'kept' you 'busy' all 'night' long right? It was terrible here, how 'was' it 'over there'?" Kenta mischievously asked and made sure he sent his message remarking some of his words, Madoka had made her way to the kitchen already leaving the two teenagers alone.
Haruka wasn't sure of what Kenta really want to lead to, but she decided to play along "Oh yes, it did 'kept' me 'busy' all night. I 'didn't' sleep all night because of the pouring 'noises' the rain made"
"You don't have to tell me the details Tenoh, bet it was your best night. Just make sure you tell my mom you won't come home, so she won't be worried, ok?" Kenta just gave a small smile to her before turning back to his room.
Haruka was happy, she really hadn't gotten in trouble and even Kenta seemed to understand her and wasn't giving any complications. Everything was working alright; her relationship with Kenta had improved in the last months and was now ok. She was more than well with Michiru, just perfect. Life was smiling at her and she was smiling back at it.
Next day at Machida
"Michi-chan, Michi-chan!" Kaori sang Michiru's name to call her best friend. She was extremely curious about what had happened with her friend and was now running after her. Apparently her talented music colleague didn't hear her calling after her.
"Kaori-chan gomen, I didn't see you" Michiru was grinning, a dreamy expression on her face and a different gleam in her eyes.
"Ah huh...so…spit out! What happened?"
"Hmm…I don't know what you are talking about it Kaori-chan"
"Ha-ha, c'mon Michi-chan. You can't possible fool anyone with that face you have"
"What face? As far as I know I still have my same face" Michiru joked a bit trying to head off her friend.
"Ha-ha, did you have a clown for breakfast or something Michi-chan? You know what face I'm talking about! The one 'look at me, I am completely, ultimately in love and something happened last night' face. So are you gonna tell me or not? I even helped you! Now how can you be so meanie and wont' tell?" Kaori faked a sad pout.
"Alright, alright! We'll talk about it later, not here ok?" Michiru finally gave in.
"Ok" was Kaori's resigned reply.
Haruka and Michiru hadn't talk since the night that shared together and even though they were in the same classroom, they just couldn't talk freely and privately as they wished. So they just sent loving glances to each other, desperately waiting for their break time. Now that they had experienced so much closeness, they couldn't stand to be apart from each other for too long.
"Haruka, I couldn't wait any longer love"
"I know Michi, I feel the same"
The two lovebirds were locked in a dreamy gaze. They retreat to their lunch spot, under the enormous oak tree. Haruka and Michiru usually shared their bentos on all their breaks, unless they had an unexpected call from their organizations. Today more than any other day, they wanted to be close and share a tender moment together.
"Haruka, we couldn't talk after…yesterday"
"Did everything go all right with your parents? You didn't get in trouble, did you?" Haruka worriedly asked her girlfriend. She had hurriedly left the Kaioh's mansion Sunday morning and hadn't had a chance to talk to Michiru.
"No, they didn't suspect anything about what happened between us" Michiru said lovingly as her beautiful features shaded a slight pink color.
"Michi" Haruka approached her girlfriend and hugged her tightly and then slowly brought her lips to Michiru's. They shared a soft, yet deep kiss; they didn't part until the need for oxygen overtook them. "Michi, I don't regret anything. Do you?" Haruka asked a slight tone of concern in her voice that didn't go unnoticed by the violinist.
"Haruka, how can you ask something like that? Of course I don't regret anything! I love you so much and I won't ever regret anything about us or our love" the young the violinist flashed a reassuring smile and hugged once again her girlfriend.
"I love you Michi, more than anything"
"I know, love. I also love too"
The next 3 months flew by so fast and like a blink of an eye Machida and her students were out of classes to enjoy a well needed summer break. Haruka and Michiru were excited that school was over and they had plan to spend more of their break together. After all, they didn't have much time together outside Machida without Michiru parent's interferences, but the little time they had, including some nights, were spent with much passion, desire and love. They were two happy lovers in all the sense of the word. After their first time together, they couldn't resist to go on without being together and close anymore. It had been difficult with so many things going on. Haruka had a chance at the racetrack and was being tested and practiced more of her weekends to get her license even though she still was underage. Michiru had gotten herself playing her violin at many events, improving each time even more. Their summer break came as of great help; they could be together more time now that they didn't have to go to school.
"Yes! I'm so glad school is finally over" Haruka exclaimed as if she had graduated from Machida when she just had finished her second year, nonetheless a wide grin on her lips adorned her face.
"Hey, you still have to come next year to finish up high school, so don't get too excited" Michiru teased the tall girl.
"I know, I know. But I am just happy to have a break from everything" the blonde racer explained her point.
"Even from me?" Michiru pouted.
"Of course not, I want to spend as much time of my summer with you. I was even thinking that we could go the beach and have some fun over there" Haruka winked at Michiru as she emphasized fun.
"Ha-ha yes, I would love to go there with you, Ruka. Anywhere you can take me, I'll be happy to be there if you are with me"
The Kaioh's were glad her daughter had finished another school year with excellent grades and much improved music skills, but they suspected there was something going on with their little girl. It was obvious, especially to Masaru that there was a drastic change in his daughter's behavior. He still couldn't have it clear, but had a good guess and he didn't like it. Before things could get messy, Masaru decided it was time for his family to have some time together as a real family and so he decided to spend this summer break in a family vacation in England.
"Shiori, I was thinking it would be good for us, Michiru, you and me to go back to England. At least for the summer, don't you miss your English acquaintances?" Masaru tried to sound nonchalant to his wife, but he had this urgency to take his family away at least for some good time.
"I don't know Masaru, Michiru really likes it here. She has found new friendships and…I don't think she would like to go back, and as for me I wish we could spend our summer here too" was Shiori sincere response to her husband.
"Well, I am just trying to give her a change of environment. I do not like at all the sudden change she has been through. Do you know something about it? I mean, I suppose you have notice that since we got here she is not the same"
"Umm….well of course she has changed. She has become a woman now and has different priorities. Masaru, your little girl is growing up in fact like I said she is now a woman"
"That's the problem. She is far too beautiful and in no time she will have tons of guys all around her and I can't let just anyone to be close my daughter"
I think she has already had. Oh Masaru, how blind you are. Our daughter has changed because she in love with that Haruka guy. Shiori reasoned to herself "You will have to bear with it and accept who she chooses Masaru, she is old enough to form her own opinions and love who she wants"
"NEVER! I won't let any pauper take advantage of her or of our economic position! Uh ah, no! The person she chooses has to pass my approval and if not I will myself find her a good suitor"
In that moment their main door opened and both Shiori and Masaru jumped in their seats by being surprised and interrupted from their conversation. Michiru had just arrived from her last day of school and was extremely happy that she now was free of homework's and after school practices, a bit sad because she wouldn't see her other half every day but still happy.
"Oba-san, oka-san" Michiru bowed in a manner to greet her parents "did I interrupt something? What were you two talking about so agitatedly?" Michiru made her way to the living room and seated in the same couch her mother sat, just across her father "so?"
"Michiru, I have decided that we should spend some time together as family. Your mother, you and I" Masaru started revealing half of his plan.
Michiru had expected everything but that; her parents were always working away from their home and her. If they could spend time now as a family it would had been her best summer "That's sounds great"
"Yes, that's what I thought. You must prepare yourself because we're leaving this weekend to England. We are spending our whole summer over there so make your luggage; you only have today and tomorrow to have everything ready"
The gracious smile that had adorned the aqua-haired instantly disappeared as she heard the words from his father "WHAT?We CAN'T leave oto-san. I can't and won't leave japan" Michiru firmly said as she stood up from her seat.
The response from her daughter clearly upset and infuriated Masaru "Michiru! You will do as I say and if I say we're leaving the day after tomorrow we WILL" Masaru roared his last word as he also stood up from his seat.
"I am sorry oba-san, but I won't leave! I don't want to"
"Well I am more sorry because you will"
"You can't do this! This is unfair! Why do we have to go? We could as well spent our summer as a family here in Japan"
"Of course I can do this, I am your father. And why? Look at you! Look the way you're talking to me! You never had been this disrespectful. Who have changed you Michiru? Who is this person that has taken you away from me?"
"Nobody has taken me away from you! It's been always you that has put a barrier between us! I have always done as you say but not anymore! I am tired of always the same! I have a boyfriend and I won't leave him!" Michiru was now on the verge of tears. She had wished her relationship with her father was better, she had wished her father could meet Haruka and like her.
"A boyfriend you say? So it has been that dog all the time? I knew it! There was a guy involved in all of this but hear this Michiru" Masaru stepped closer to his daughter looking directly at her eyes "I will never accept this ridiculous relationship and you are going to England. That's all"
Michiru couldn't say anything and watched as her father left the living room. He was furious and won't listen to her. She gave up on her weight and went on her knees on the marvel floor. In all this discussion she had forgotten about her mother. Shiori preferred to stay silent as she knew that confronting Masaru would do nothing, it was better to pretend to be in his side.
"Michi-chan, please don't cry my child" Shiori knelt as her daughter and placed an arm around her.
"Oka-san I don't want to leave Haruka" Michiru sobbed and hugged her mother "I can't stand to be away from he...him"
"Shhh…calm down. I will try to talk with your father, but please stop crying. I don't like to see you like this. Now go to your room and relax, I'll try to fix everything ok?" Shiori gave her daughter a comforting smile as they stood up once again.
"Thank you, oka-san. I will go to my room a rest a bit" Michiru tried her best and forced a smile.
I can't leave! I can't travel to England and be separated from Haruka. I have to do something, I need to call her and let her know what's going on in my house. Our love is stronger; I won't let my father or anyone destroy what we have. Michiru was resting on her bed drifting into sleep as all kind of thoughts attacked her.
TO BE CONTINUED…
